Thursday 20th November 

Being quite brave 
Not hiding from fights 
Taking some risks 
Reaching new heights 

Proud of the battles 
That have been faced 
Feeling fine inside 
No moment chased 

So standing tall 
Letting confidence ignite 
Walking in strength 
Towards inner light 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Wednesday 19th November 

The strength to face 
Whatever life may bring 
And hope that lets 
A heart forever sing 

For stars that twinkle 
In the darkest night 
Those guiding beacons 
Shining ever bright 

For simple comfort 
Easily obtained 
A grateful heart 
Forever unrestrained 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Tuesday 18th November 

Comfort 
As soft as a blanket 
Wrapped around 
Like a warm embrace 

A shelter 
From the wildest tempest 
In quiet corners 
Finding a calm place 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 17th November 

Leaves have fallen 
Branches stripped bare 
Yet the tree stands tall 
Roots strong with care 

Through storms and seasons 
It's held its ground 
A testament of life 
Resilience profound 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 16th November 

Ideas scatter 
Like leaves in a breeze 
Some dance in chaos 
Some go where they please 
Yet in this whirlwind 
The truth is found 
Beneath the clatter 
The heart is unbound 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Saturday 15th November 

Life was ordinary 
A gentle flow 
Sunlit days 
A peaceful glow 

Waking hours 
A happy place 
Familiar smiles 
On every face 

Until it wasn't 
The quiet broke 
A sudden storm 
A heavy cloak 

Grey skies dawned 
Where blue had been 
A world transformed 
A different scene 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 14th November 

Breathing in deep 
Letting peace arrive 
Embracing the now 
Feeling truly alive 
In the chaos 
Sifting through strife 
Finding the threads 
Of a balanced life 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 13th November 

In the quiet 
Of morning light 
A cup of tea 
Warm and bright 
The steam curls up 
A gentle dance 
In that moment 
A calming trance 
A leaf that twirls 
Upon the breeze 
Rustling whispers 
Through the trees 
Each tiny moment 
Like a song 
Holds memories 
Where we belong 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 12th November 

Along life’s busy path 
To roam and wander 
With comfort and peace 
Those hearts will ponder 
When in some calm moments 
Then truly belong 
Each loving encounter 
As all are made strong 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 11th November 

Standing in the wind and rain 
Remembering an ancestor of mine
The cemetery situated above the sea 
Waves crashing along the coastline 

A cousin three times removed
A brave soldier of the Great War
Family to me across a century
His resting place now cared for 

The tireless work of a local historian 
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission 
With the restoration of his stone
His service has full recognition 

His story could have faded with time 
But now this soldier has his voice again 
His history has been brought back to life
So generations will speak of him then

Remembered with the dignity 
That every soldier deserved
Sapper William Hart of St Ives 
His memory forever preserved 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
